Decisions

In accordance with the constitution, the council publishes
decisions taken by the City Mayor, Deputy City Mayors and Lead
Members. Use the search options at the bottom of the page to find
information regarding decisions taken at executive meetings after
24 January 2017.

Officer decisions are not subject to call-in, however during the
period of five working days from the publication of a decision
taken by the City Mayor, Deputy City Mayors or a Lead Member, a
request to 'call-in' a decision may be made by either:

If it is within the remit of the Overview and Scrutiny Board,
the decision may be called in, if the chair of the
board, any two members of the board or any three members of
the council submit a notice in writing to the monitoring officer,
within the five day period giving reasons why the decision should
be scrutinised.

If it is within the remit of one of the scrutiny panels,
the decision may be called in, if the chair of the
panel, any two members of the panel or any three members of
the council submit a notice in writing to the monitoring officer,
within the five day period giving reasons why the decision should
be scrutinised.

Requests for call-in are only used in exceptional circumstances
and if a decision is not called-in, it becomes effective
at 4pm on the fifth working day following
publication.
